Quick trivia wrapup. Another year, but the same results. After 54 hours, 436 questions, uncountable cans of caffeinated beverages, we ended up in the same place as last year's contest. 21st place (out of 435 teams) with a total of 6380 points. 230 points ahead of 22nd place, 5 points behind 20th place.

I'm first and foremost a fan of duathlons (that's run-bike-run for those that don't know), but do at least one triathlon a year, pretty much every year. I started with duathlons mostly due to a major dislike of swimming. Now, I don't actually hate swimming, but the idea of wading in to typically dark, murky, stinky lakes, and intentionally swimming AWAY from shore really just doesn't interest me that much. Like I said before, I do race triathlons as well, and have done quite a few sprints, several 70.3s and also finished Ironman Wisconsin back in 2011, so I managed to overcome my dislikes of that lake swimming thing.
